Behind-The-Wheel Driving Test at Santa Clara California on March 2016

I was reading anything and everything available on Google, regarding driving test experience at Santa Clara, before my Behind-The -Wheel test. I promised myself that I will share my experience once I get my License. Hopefully, it is going to help someone who is going through the same phase. Well, my first-time experience was not so good. I had booked my first Behind-the-wheel test, right after clearing my written exam, at San Jose DMV. I took a morning slot, around 8:30 AM, at Santa Clara DMV, within a month time gap. I thought that a month of driving is enough to get a license. But sometimes I can be so wrong! I took a driving class...

Books for Babies - My Daughter's Collection

How to spend the whole day with your infant!

Those are the exact words that I had typed in google when I decided to take a break from my work and stay at home with my little one. And yes, I didn't find any good results! What I was looking for, is a timetable, that will give an hour wise detail. I have seen so many moms staying at home and taking care of their kids so efficiently. My mom is a home maker and she was always busy doing something with us i.e. me and my sister. So I thought that it won't be a big deal! But as the last day at my work was approaching, I was getting more and more nervous and was searching vigorously in google changing the keywords. I got a few games that I can play with the little one, I can read stories to her or I can take her for a walk. Finally, the day arrived and I was all alone at home with her. I...
